1st cycle of test/half way through losing size?

**Roid_Rookie** · 08-05-2012, 05:40 PM

Hi all,

It might be my imagination, but it seems that I am losing muscle size at mid-cycle of Test.
I am 48yrs old 5'8" 180lbs with good muscle size, about 7 percent body fat (majority of that at my 30 inch waist) and in good shape prior to starting my first cycle. I did not set out to make huge gains when I decided to do my first cycle 6 weeks ago. My main hope was to gain a little more mass, hopefully heal some minor nagging tendon and shoulder pain and to supplement the loss of testosterone that occurs after age 40. I have been taking Andropen 275mg blend (20mg testosterone acetate, 90mg testosterone deconate, 45mg testosterone propionate , 45mg phenylpropionate, 75mg testosterone cypionate ) one stick per week of 1cc. The first 4 weeks, I gained about 8 pounds and some definite size and strength. Now, 6 weeks in, I have lost about 4-5 pounds (although, it does appear I am losing some of the belly fat) of the 8 that I gained and when I look in the mirror, I feel as though I have lost some of the size gains in My chest, shoulders and arms. Can anyone shed some light on what may be occurring? I really would appreciate some suggestions on what I need to change? Thanks a tone everyone!

whats your diet like? 275mgs a week is a very low amount and you have some fast acting test in there. i would shoot every other day

Any changes to your diet? Why are you pinning once a week?

My wild guess(since you gave little info) is diet is very poor and you held water and now due to poor diet you dropping bodyfat, doubt you lose LBM but you may not gain sny either, so effectively a waste of good test

Never read above posts, it already been stated.........

Based on my previous stated goals of only seeking moderate size gains, looking to heal some minor tendon and shoulder pain and looking to supplement loss of natural test that occurs after 40, how much would you recommend per stick if I go every other day?
